Title

How fast does different types of ice melt.


Problem Scenario

To see what kind of ice melts fastest.

Broad Question

how fast different kinds of ice melt.

Specific Question

how fast does ice melt with different substances melt.

Hypothesis

i think the ice cubes with salt in it will melt faster then the other kinds of ice.
Graph of Hypothesis




Variables

Independent Variable: The different types of substances in the water.

Dependent Variable:the type of ice that has no substances in it.


Variables That Need To Be Controlled:

the different types of ice that i add different kinds of substances in to make them different.

Vocabulary List That Needs Explanation






General Plan

1. freeze ice with substances
2.take ice out put ice cubes on table.
3.turn timer on and start timing ice cubes
4.see what ice cubes melt first.
5.put information on paper then graph it.
